Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Carrollton, IL.

Anxiety and stress are all too prevalent in our society of high expectations, fear of failure and desire for immediate fulfillment. Many times our lives feel out of control which causes us to clamp down and try to control our reality even more. I want to help you understand what is at the core of your anxiety or desire for control. This is often an area we feel we can "cope" with on our own, which often means we push it down and hope it goes away. I would like to walk through it with you to help process and learn a better way to deal with whatever life brings.

Anxiety can go by many names - fear, shyness, worry, etc. It can be a functional part of life when it is managed, but when it is not, it can be detrimental to your sense of security. We explore what may be feeding you anxiety and try to help you break unhealthy associations. In doing so, we promote self-confidence, self-compassion, and resilience. Oftentimes and over time, it is a surprise to see how much you have overcome.

In my psychotherapy practice, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment for addressing anxiety and stress. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and personalized strategies to help patients manage symptoms effectively. Through our work together, patients gain tools to reduce anxiety, enhance coping skills, and improve overall well-being. The benefits of my anxiety and stress treatment include increased resilience, better emotional regulation, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Unchecked anxiety and stress can take a toll not only on a person’s mental and emotional well-being, but on their physical health as well. I enjoy helping my clients overcome anxiety and stress with powerful cognitive tools which allow them to regain the energy, peace and joy they need. It's wonderful to remain a "planner" while retiring the "worrier."
